    Remember the Sinclair? 

 The "hard drive" was an audio cassette.

    FredHead present and accounted for!!! 
 
Oh, the good old days.... 
 
When my prized possession (and primary mode of transportation) was a purple, 20 inch, single speed 1966 Murray Wildcat banana bike, complete with sissy bar. 
 
WAIT!!!! I still have it, and sometimes ride it when my 5-year old daughter rides her bike. 
 
Many miles were put on that bike. 
 
Anyone remember the year (or two) when steering wheels were popular on the banana bikes?

    My favorite vehicle that Dad had was the truck (like this one) that he used as a beach buggy... 

 Bought it at auction from the USMC, painted it black, and added a plywood cab and rear on it. Many fun times with that old truck.

Whatever happened to the future promised us in the past, I'm nostalgic for it?
